South Wales Evening Post - 9 December 2006
A Welsh Assembly candidate has called for a rethink on proposals to dig up part of Swansea's foreshore for the new bendy bus scheme.
Swansea West Conservative candidate, Harri Lloyd-Davies, has urged Swansea Council to review its proposals for the route, which would see a section of the Blackpill to West Cross green park transformed into a bus lane.
Mr Lloyd-Davies said: "I cannot see how churning up a beautiful stretch of Swansea Bay can be justified in terms of providing just a few hundred yards of bus lane.
"I would question whether the environmental damage caused to the promenade can be justified."
He said he hoped Conservative councillors would take up his campaign at County Hall.
"I would hope the council will see sense and reconsider whether the StreetCar needs to run down Mumbles Road to Oystermouth at all," he added.
